A beautiful, elegant side. I've even grown to tolerate 'Waiting on a Friend', mostly for the god like sax solo. Maybe the last time the Stones seemed mysterious.

I know we get upset when Keith, Mick, or other Stones appear to be hypercritical of Brian, but they were there. They were all like one big f'd up family. And of course it's human nature for Mick, and especially Keith, to downplay their own failings. Within that family context it's probably hard to see the forest for the trees and give individuals their due. John Lennon & Harris

I hope SuperHeavy knocks it out of the park, just to shut up those Stones fans who can only stand the guitar based 68-72 group. Give Mick a break. The few snippets I heard of Miracle Worker (not the remix) sound pretty interesting. But then I'm aware of Damian Marley and A.R.Rahman. The Stones have stopped using talented and varied sidemen and since Voodoo Lounge only seem to repeat sounds f

I'm beginning to envy fans who can listen to Stone's studio output post 1989. I tried to listen to Voodoo Lounge the other night and couldn't. Bridges, Bigger Bang, I can listen to 'Rough Justice' and that's about it. There's some songs from that period that still sound good live, but the last three studio albums have become dead to my ears.

It's probably all the stories about Brian being an a-hole with people that give credence to the conspiracies around his death. It's easy to visualize some working class guys hating him. But who knows? He might have been a sweetheart at the time and he simply had a downer or two in his system, a little red wine to boot, and voila, accidental drowning.

Man, I always thought of it as part of the great tapestry of sounds on the album. As a double album it's more coherent than The White Album. I don't think there's any song on Exile that I skip to the next track. It's lovely every couple years to put on a pair of good headsets and enjoy the whole thing all at once.

Remembering the actual time, the summer of 1971, was quite strange. Instead of reading it in the newspaper it was almost a passing item in Newsweek. And this quite a few days after his death.
